Statins like Lipitor and Effexor (among other Statin Drugs) form a class of hypolipidemic agents, used as pharmaceuticals to lower cholesterol levels in people at risk for cardiovascular disease because of hypercholesterolemia. Inhibition of this enzyme in the liver stimulates the LDL-receptors, which results in an increased clearance of LDL from the bloodstream and a decrease in blood cholesterol levels.

Tip! As many as 98% of people using Lipitor or similar statin drugs experience muscle weakness. This is because the statins break down muscle tissue.Doctors have been encouraged to prescribe the cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins quite liberally.
